Testimonials

iFactory’s delivery of our new site design allowed our website to grow from a stale, outdated catalog of information, to a fresh, rich, content-driven site due to carefully planned information design and new interactive features; all in a matter of months.

– Brian Flynn, Webmaster, Wheelock College

iFactory brought professionalism and guidance to a web development process that can be daunting – even overwhelming. They were responsive to our requests, patient with inquiries and supportive in our decision-making.

iFactory had been recommended to us by someone from another school. When they came down and presented their proposal we were all just blown away. They clearly knew what they were doing and already seemed to have a sense of what we were looking to achieve.

– Matt Gray, Media Relations Manager, Bryn Mawr College

We are delighted to have worked with iFactory in developing Oxford Dictionaries Online. This was a large custom-built project with complex data needs, and iFactory excelled in building an enticing and intuitive interface with underlying data sophistication and robust technology.

– Judy Pearsall, Head of Dictionaries, Oxford University Press

We are very excited by what iFactory has achieved with the Berg Fashion Library. They have not only successfully implemented our vision, but they have worked with us as true partners to make it so much more than we imagined.

– Kathryn Earle, Managing Director, Berg Publishers

The outstanding design and features that iFactory created gives visitors a real sense of Darden, and illustrates that we are a world-class business school.

We are very proud of the site and feel that the work [iFactory] did captures us, the cutting-edge technology, and the diversity of people and projects at the Institute.

– Mary Tolikas, Director of Operations, the Wyss Institute
